Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sathumavu flour
- 1 cup Grated coconut
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt substitute (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the Sathumavu flour. Sprinkle it with small quantities of warm water and mix it gently with your fingers.
Continue adding warm water little by little while mixing the flour, until it reaches a breadcrumb-like consistency. The mixture should be moist enough to hold shape when pressed together but crumble when dropped.
If using, add the salt substitute and mix well.
Take a Puttu maker (cylindrical steaming vessel) and place a layer of grated coconut at the bottom.
Add a layer of the Sathumavu flour mixture over the coconut layer, gently pressing it down.
Repeat the layers of coconut and flour until the Puttu maker is filled, finishing with a layer of grated coconut.
Attach the filled Puttu maker to a pressure cooker or pot with boiling water, ensuring a proper seal to let only steam pass through.
Steam the Puttu on medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, or until you see steam escaping from the top of the Puttu maker.
Carefully detach the Puttu maker and use a wooden skewer or the handle of a spoon to gently push the steamed Puttu onto a plate.
Serve warm with banana, sugar, or your favorite curry for a complete meal.
